after i typing this command
ps -ef |grep 'httpd'| wc -l
i get 100, this means there are 100 users visiting my site?
is this a proper way to restart apache?

what are the differences between using HUP and USR1 signal to restart apache?

The ppp-on script here has a companion ppp-on-dialer script for chat
to dial out and connect. Dunno what happens if the modem is already
connected when chat does it's thing, but maybe "looped back?"
Rereading your post maybe the minicom reference is just to show you can
connect to the ISP, and not a part of a procedure you are using to get
PPP working. A grossly misconfigured ppp-on-dialer script could also
cause the "looped back."
One easy-to-make mistake, for a chat script with the expect/sends as chat
arguments, is an expect/send line that has no `\' escape at the end, or
one that has a space immediately following the `\' thus preventing the
eol from being escaped. Excluding the last line of chat arguments of
course, where the eol is not escaped.
Otherwise post your scripts.

attached to a winNT workstation.
The Printing HOWTO says there's a Print to Windows mini-HOWTO, but I can't

This must be done all the time. How do you do it? Where is the secret

Usually on a home LAN I'd suggest the name/alias of the person who owns
the machine. On an office-type LAN, I'd suggest naming them with their

I know there is support for serial load-balancing, but this isn't what
I'm looking for. I'm trying to find a ppp implementation for linux
which supports multilink PPP over two or more serial devices.
Does anyone know if anything like this is available ?
I'm got a lot of time on my hands soon, how much of a project would it
be to adapt one of the existing implementations do provide such
functionality ?

Maybe you havent entered the DNS information in the DNS tab of kppp ?
these are ip address of the servers at your ISP that do the domain name
resolution - covert names to ip addresses
your ISP should supply you with their DNS ip addresses

Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 19:25:04 +0300
On redhat 6.0 I have strange network bad performance only in certain
opperations :
1. ping show some lost packets - this should be the key to all
2. ftp is very very very slow
3. opening X on other displays is very very very slow
on the otherhand , netscape is reasonable.
The card is a PCI 10/100 3c905 connected to a 10mb hub. Other machines
connected to the same hub work much better (they are now linux)
I do not use DNS to resolve names, the same problem occers when I use
the specific ip address, or added machines to the /etc/hosts file.
Any idea how to debug my problem ?
Any known selutions ?
I didn't find anyone else with the same problem in the net.
Thanks ,

Subject: Local network setup help !!
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 18:22:54 +0200
Hi everybody !
I've been trying to figure out how to install a local network with Linux but
I've had to give up !
I've been reading how-tos and other help files but they 're so complicated
that I can't make head nor tail...
Could anybody tell me what the main steps are to configure a local network
(peer to peer) with Linux Mandrake 5.3 (kernel 2.0.36) and thus be able to
connect to my other computer with Win98 installed on it ??
I've been trying to use samba 1.9 but I don't understand the notion of
locahhost.localdomain, what IP I should type in etc...
Yet my network works properly with two Win98 machines ! and I have no
problem with IP and submask notions !
Here are the IP and submask I use in Win98 :
-PC n°1 : IP 192.168.0.1, submask 255.255.255.0
-PC n°2 : IP 192.168.0.2, submask 255.255.255.0
Hardware :
-PC n°1 : PII 266 with a Ne2000 PCI card Realtek (detected by Linux
/ bx000; IRQ9)
-PC n°2 : Cyrix P233 with a NE2000 ISA card Realtek, too.
Samba 1.9 is installed on my machine but should I install another package to
configure this peer to peer connection on my machine and on the other in
Win98 ??
Your help would be appreciated !
Thanks in advance for your help !
Phil.

The first question:
Check the routing before and after the stall. Check the setserial
configuration of the modem device file. Look at the PPP negotiation
logs with the pppd debug option turned on. As a last resort look at
these logs with the kdebug 7 option.
Start posting logs if you need help with them. Also the kernel version
and pppd version and the "setserial /dev/ttySx" output, x = whatever
for your modem.
The second question.
The RX error count in the ifconfig output is significant and is probably
related to the stall.

I just switched to adsl, but I have problems with connecting to internet with ad

Here is my situation:
Connection to internet is made with a Virtual Private Network and PPTP to connec
t. (In windows one just have to use the Micosoft VPN - drivers.)
So, I got pptp client, but not sure what to put for the pptp argument.
Should the remotehost be 10.0.0.138? or something else? All i got from my ISP
was login and password. How can I figure out the remotehostname? When
I typed pptp 10.0.0.138, I got an unknown error along with call manager

Hello,
I'm new to RedHat, and am having difficulty getting a simple internet
connection with a modem. I attempted to use minicom to dial my ISP, which
it does (and tells me I'm connected). Also, my phone line appears to be
in use as would be expected. However, after "connecting", I'm still
isolated. I can't ping, telnet, etc... I know the problem isn't hardware
related, because Windows dials up fine with the same modem. Is there
something special I need to do?? I have consulted the NET3 HOWTO, and
tried everything I can think of!! All relevant config files seem to be
as they should be. I also tried using linuxconf to activate SLIP and PPP
interfaces, but this seems to have no effect...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

If you can get an ssh connection going, then use ssh connection
forwarding and run a user-land ppp connection over that.
You are looking for something like
ssh -L 6669:localhost:6669
To allow connections at port 6669 at this end to go to the port
6669 at the other side.
Configure inetd to start a server ppp at the other end. Put this
in /etc/services to name the service:
ppp-in 6669/tcp # Incoming PPP connections over TCP
And this in /etc/inetd.conf to tell inetd(8) how to deal with
incoming connections on that port:
ppp-in stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct ppp-in
Now use ppp to connect locally at port 6669, where ssh will carry
the data over to the far side and connect it up to 6669. Run ppp
specifying localhost:6669 as the device.
Have a look at 'man ppp' and 'man ssh'
By the way, if you don't need the strong encryption and authent-
ication fetures of ssh, you could just use ppp over TCP directly.
